Passing data during connection?

[keith v]

Are there any dirty hacks to pass a little data, like 1 bit even, during pairing? I need my central to tell the peripheral orientation, left/right, as early as possible. I could always write to a custom GATT, but many things have been decided by then.

If I could push the orientation determination earlier in time, to the connect event, that would sure make life easy.

Also just because I like torture apparently, the peripheral is a BlueGiga dongle ( not my choice ) so I'm stuck with generic BLE methods.

Ive thought about using the io capabilities, but that seems to be write only on the BG device at the APP level

Thanks Keith
